This is a list that changes every week for me. Tool are pretty staple, I love Hedpe (but get why most don't), Led Zeppelin are my favourite this week, Pink Floyd and Dire Straits are always up there, Porcupine Tree never fail to impress me... Particularly enjoying At The Gates this week, too. I'm sorry, but there really is no way I could give you a stable list of favourite bands that short :)

I know, I cheated, but damn that 3rd one is hard to pin down. Psythe, I haven't posted a thread about Porcupine Tree's "The Incident" since it's not exactly Metal, but what are your thoughts? I probably listened to it str8 through 10 times the first week. So much good, i don't know where to start. "I drive the hearse" jumped out at me. Must have been one hell of a car crash.

i always cheat on this question by saying my favorite artists who have multiple bands so really its like 20 once ya count all the solo/side projects etc... no real specific order to list they are all interchangeable at any moment
